Your Houston Astros: We're not just jerking off.

We're not just jerking off.

This was actually the 86 Mets slogan.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

2008 Astros! We want to win, baby!
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it

Nice... can't pick a winner between 'em.
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

What can Brown do for the Astros.
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

ESPN's Jerry Crasnick was bored enough to come up with his own 2008 "slogans" for all 30 teams.  Meh...

Quote
Houston Astros: "Paging Mr. Scott ... Mr. Mike Scott"

The Astros fortified their offense by picking up Miguel Tejada to complement Lance Berkman, Carlos Lee and Hunter Pence in the order, but the pitching was as bad as advertised in spring training. Who's going to back up Roy Oswalt in the rotation? Maybe it's time for Jim Deshaies to leave the broadcast booth behind and reinvent himself as a 47-year-old knuckleballer.

I do like his one for the Rangers, though:  "Pitching Free -- Since 1993!"
